Definitions

  • a typical pressurised aerosol container is a metered-dose inhaler (MDI), more commonly referred to as a puffer or as an asthma inhaler, in which the drug is typically provided in solution or suspension within the pressurised container or canister housed in a manual actuator.
  • MDI metered-dose inhaler
  • the mouthpiece of the MDI is placed in the patient's mouth following which the MDI is actuated to express a metered dose of the drug to be breathed in by the patient.
  • valveless spacer device for an MDI, the spacer device comprising:
  • the body including the inlet and outlet, may be configured to reduce a static electricity charge.
  • the bag may be configured to reduce a static electricity charge.
  • the body (including inlet and outlet), and/or bag may be treated with an antistatic agent.
  • the body (including inlet and outlet), and/or bag may be made of electrically conductive material.
  • the body, including the inlet and/or outlet may be made of metal or a metallised compound, such as metallised plastic or a metal-coated plastic.
  • the bag may be made of a metallised film or aluminium foil.
  • the metallised film may be a metallised polymer film.
  • the body is external tc the bag.
  • the bag may depend operatively downwardly from the body.
  • the body is in the form of a generally V-shaped mounting.
  • the V-shaped mounting may be formed by the opposing inlet passage and the outlet passage intersecting at an angle along their respective longitudinal axes where the angle creating the V defines an arc of preferably between 30 and 170 degrees, preferably 60 to 120 degrees, most preferably 90 degrees.
  • the inlet and outlet passages may be cone-shaped.
  • the perimeter of the inlet may be round, oval, elliptical, or irregular in shape.
